There are 2 broken mechs, so called PGI-Cauldron toys.

Moth.
Any moth don't register full damage. Even if it legged or shutdown never alfa shoot can kill it.

Duelist.
Its broken and carry Fafnirs hgauss plus enormous quirks. Can outshoot any big mech.

Very very bad for game.

Fire Moth: your personal panic and sketchy aim doesn't mean the 'Mech is ghosting damage. The thing is also almost universally very lightly armed and terrible at the dogged ankle-biting that the top of the light 'Mech heap is good at. 'Mech is fine, shoot better.

Duelist: c'mon, guy. Duelist is a slow, fragile one-trick pony. It's not even GOOD, let alone broken. Its one trick is pretty good, surs, but it entirely sacrifices speed and durability for it. 'Mech is the literal definition of glass cannon. Shoot robit, kill robit, profit.

Neither of those claims are true.

Have you played it? Cuz it's definitely more fragile feeling than either the Flea or Locust.

False, if it could outshoot any big mech, it would be used in comp, but it can't so it doesn't see use outside niche cases (or lower divs). It also is very slow and fragile making it a likely target to be bullied by wolfpacks.

firemoth: weak armor not really good at taking hits no jump jets has to keep moving to avoid tripping on a used shell from an autocannon


Duelist: Do you know what the problem is with heavy guass in arms is? especially since it doesn't have case? plus requires an XL to even use those so it's a one arm gone and out mech aim for the arms.... and boom it's dead. also it's as slow as a direwolf, annihilator or other huge assualt mech... just barely faster by ONE WHOLE KPH! (1.2 exactly)it's a annhilator withought the annihilation... and alot less weapons.

Came in expecting another railfarm whine gets an old resurrected whine. Hilarity ensues.

duelist = guaranteed XL check

[HenryFA]

he cried about the duelist cuz he got one shotted by my friend yesterday when he tried to backstab him at the start of a match. poor dude was playing in a flea/locust and got spotted on minimap.

Moth => broken?
YES! Why it killed by mere 2(!!!) shots?! I want my one invincible! <= Seriously, even a Flea is more durable! Moth is fast and that's it. No trick. I have an Aletha 'cause I am a BT clan-fan and that's all. Moth looks cool, feels cool on the testgrounds but better skip it for Mist lynx from the clans' light rooster.

Duelist... If they hit it can hurt. But 90% that the Duelist would not shot more. One of those rare mechs what could been killed by a single alpha (XL engine, a curse for IS mechs...). Duelist is the heavy equivalent of the 2xMissile launcher 40s Javelin: One shot per match mechs (OK, there ARE some good Duelist pilots I admit, still...).

[Meep Meep]

I always see duelists trying to hit in its optimal when with the super range quirk you do regular gauss damage at regular gauss optimal. Hang back a bit and farm and if something pushes you whack them in the face with 50 points...

Yes it does.



You're Tier 1. Presumably you can shoot better than the people who normally complain about it.

[Drenzul]

Laggy moths can be annoying, but that is more due to lag than anything else.

Duelist? Sure they can be annoying but they are so weak in mobility and durability, without that firepower they would be useless.

If someone wants "broken" mechs:
Hollander
Blitzkrieg
Eagle
...
Or the original Jenner, the one with the turret-mounted large laser...
